GOT FRENCH ID FORKS :D

Compression is the same as the bolts on a threaded fork. You tighten the bolts to keep your headset nice and tight. With threadless forks, you obviously can't use a bolt. Tadah, compression.

I have never understood it either,
That kinda doesn't solve my problem,
How does the compression work?
what does it actually do?

 

[Jason]

I just said what it does... It pulls the bars down onto the headset and replaces the bolt on threaded forks.

 

[nick_is_me1]

It would help if i knew what they looked like..

 

[Jason]

Ok...

A compression system is simply a bolt and a starnut. The starnut goes into the bottom of your bars. The bolt goes up through the bottom of the forks and typically there is a hole designed for it on aftermarket forks, which the bolt sits in. You then thread the bolt into the starnut and tighten, causing the bars to become tight on the headset. Finally you clamp the bars with any old clamp to stop movement. Hey presto.

Stock forks cannot do this because of not only their threads, but there is nowhere for the bolt to sit. And there's basically no point having compression on stocks anyway.

Mmm... i chatted to matt mckeen at sd3 for a while about them, he said they had big problems with the compression system, and that his bars always wobbled. I love the look of them though
